Christmas Morning, part 2

More from Christmas morning…

The kids each made gifts for us at school, too.  This is Lauren’s Christmas wreath with a candle in the middle.  Made out of cutouts of her hand print.  I cannot bring myself to throw anything away that has their hand print somewhere on it.  I think teachers maybe know this.

Mikey took this one.  I’m holding a wreath painstakingly made by Allie.  (Yes, I kept that too.)  Phil’s holding a blue star made by I think Lauren.  (Yes, I probably kept that, too.)

A surprise for the girls.  They loved.

Getting down to the business of playing.

Just when he thought it was all over and was feeling about ready for a nap…

“What’s that, Mommy?”

[Insert game show announcer voice]: A new car!  (That Daddy stayed up the night before to assemble for him.)

When all was said and done, we decided to go for a walk on the pier since it was such a beautiful day.  Mikey took this one, too.

And this one.

Showing Ah-ma some of the shots she took with her new camera.

They found two retro Pac-Man video games in the arcade.

And then it was back home for more playing time and together time and being so, so thankful time.

Merry Christmas, belated as it is.  🙂
